->''Do the monkey with me!''

One of Creator/CartoonNetwork's first [[Creator/CartoonCartoons original characters]], ''Johnny Bravo'' was based partly on Music/ElvisPresley and partly on Fonzie from ''Series/HappyDays''. Johnny takes a little too much pride in his appearance, and has little, if any, success at romance or anything else he tries. Not that this fazes him much. He also tends to run into celebrities, including Creator/FarrahFawcett, Donny Osmond, Creator/AdamWest and the cast of ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo''.

The show is notable for the major changes the style in its humor experienced during the 65 overall episodes. In the pilot, and the first and final seasons, the humor was more mature and Johnny was portayed as a loser and more socially lacking than stupid. The retooled series (in between), however, was aimed more at the show's younger audience. The amount of slapstick increased and [[TookALevelInDumbass Johnny's stupidity was greatly emphasized]].

During the third quarter of the show's run, Johnny also had a spin-off program called ''JBVO''. In it, Johnny was the host who accepted requests via mail, phone or online for any Cartoon Network shorts that weren't too long to be played. It didn't last too long.

Then right before the animated, [[DancePartyEnding dance-filled]], quick recap, credits Voodoo Guru (the man who brewed the gel) shows up for him to whisper at Johnny that indeed, the pure awesome came from the gel.

* ApopheniaPlot: In the episode "The Day the Earth Didn't Move Around Very Much", Johnny believes that time has frozen for everyone but him because his alarm clock had been stopped at 12:00 due to a power outage and everytime he sees anybody, they have each decided to stay completely still for one reason or another, like Little Suzy attempting to balance an egg on her nose or a construction worker falling in wet cement and thinking he'd sink in if he moved around. Johnny takes the opportunity to commit crimes thinking he wouldn't get caught.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: In "Pouch Potato", Johnny finds himself in a habitat for kangaroos and wonders whether he'll be done in first by hunger, loneliness or the lack of clean linen.

* FictionalFanRealCelebrity: Johnny is a huge fan of Creator/FarrahFawcett, because "she's the only person in the world whose hair is prettier than mine." When the InkSuitActor Farrah visits Johnny's neighbor Suzie, he goes to absurd lengths to get a chance to meet her.
* FirehouseDalmatian: In "Backdraft", while Carl recites a poem about the responsibilities of a fireman, Johnny decides to have some fun by ringing the bell on the fire truck, going on the second floor and sliding down the fireman's pole to repeat the process. Eventually, he then decides to press a button on the side of the truck, which causes the ladder to extend and break part of the wall. This catches the attention of Carl, so Johnny blames it on the firehouse Dalmatian, who then whimpers.

** A major example. In the earlier episodes and the pilot, Johnny was just incredibly cocky, socially inept, and reckless, but he still had some intelligence and was actually somewhat competent in martial arts. Seasons after, however, made him stupid, immature, misogynistic and [[MusclesAreMeaningless buff without any benefit]]. And ''how''. To elaborate, in the later seasons, Johnny, for all his bulk, is repeatedly humiliated by 6-year-old boys and girls and beaten up by women half his size, whereas in the pilot, he ''effortlessly mauled a CROCODILE''. There was even an episode specifically about how Johnny was so out of shape that he made a world record for least healthy person. Apparently his flab just happens to grow in the exact shape of a buff physique.
** Oddly, in the last season, Johnny's flanderization was reversed completely, but Suzie's annoying tendencies were turned up.

Too bad Master Hama gave up and decided to bet against him.

* MeetTheCelebrityContest: The episode "Berry the Butler" has Bunny win a contest to have famous singer Berry Vanderbolten be her butler for a day. However, Bunny faints from the excitement and Barry tries to use this to leave early, using the whole thing as a publicity stunt until Johnny stops him. Originally this episode was written for Music/BarryManilow but the crew never got a response back from him. They also tried to get John Tesh instead but he bailed out on them at the last moment; leading to the CaptainErsatz we have now.

** Jungle Boy is featured in the first season's opening among the people doing The Monkey with Johnny Bravo in spite of only appearing in four episodes (only three of which give him a speaking role) and a between-segments short that spoofs the Tootsie Pop commercial.
** Master Hamma appears in the opening sequence for the second and third seasons, but like Jungle Boy, the actual number of episodes featuring him can be counted on one hand.
